2004 - Fluidhand 7 Up The Fluidhand 7 is designed as an experimental hand. It is used to develop new control methods and to test a new tank system that is capable of storing energy. The hand therefore has one valve for each of the 8 drives. A type of spring accumulator was developed for the hydraulic tank, which allows the hand to be closed quickly and silently without the hydraulic pump operating. Due to the large number of new and experimental components, the metacarpus has turned out to be significantly larger than the previous model, but at this stage of development, the anatomical shape and size of the hand is not a priority. For the hydraulic system, experiments were carried out with a tank that allows energy recovery when the hand is opened. The tank consists of a rigid outer shell and an elastic tank bladder inside. Between the outer shell and the tank bubble is a two-phase gas under constant pressure of 2 bar. In the intermediate space, just enough gas is formed from the liquid aggregate state until a constant pressure is reached. When the hand is opened, gas is formed; when it is closed, it is compressed into liquid, at a constant working pressure of 2 bar at room temperature. The internal diaphragm with the hydraulic fluid is thus under the pressure of the gas. When a valve is opened, a finger joint is already moved without the hydraulic pump having been activated. The pump can then build up even greater grasping force with a time delay. In this way, very dynamic and also noiseless finger movements are possible. When the drives are emptied, the water is pressed back into the tank, against the pressure of the two-phase gas, and the system is ready for the next grasping process. Up

The history of Vincent Systems: From its founding in 2009 to product innovations and international expansion – high-tech in prosthetics. History of the Fluidhand and the VINCENTevolution 1998 Fluidhand 1 thin foil soft robot hand with 5DOF, 5iDOF This first soft hand consists of thin foil layers, which have been joined together to form more complex drives in a sandwich construction. Five fingers, built up from 6 foil layers each, functionally welded in pairs, with the middle two foils forming the skeletal structure filled with epoxy resin. The outer two foil layers each form a fluidic muscle. For this purpose, two thin films were welded together in such a manner that chambers were formed in a row and connected to each other. When this structure is inflated with a gas or liquid, it contracts by about 20% of its length, similar to the natural muscle, and the finger curls up like a bow. Read more 1999 Fluidhand 2 silicon tube soft sobot hand with 16DOF, 11iDOF The new planar technology for manufacturing fluidic drives and kinematics was therefore ideally suited for actively moving miniature catheters and endoscopes. However, the forces achievable with planar film drives, which operate at a working pressure of 0.5-1 bar, were too low for the construction of an artificial hand. To generate higher grasping forces, a correspondingly higher working pressure had to act in the fluidic drives. For Fluidhand 2, “artificial muscles” based on thin silicone hoses were therefore used, which were sheathed with a flexurally flexible, stretch-resistant fabric made of polyamide. Read more 2000 Fluidhand 3 rubber bulg soft hand prosthesis with 10DOF, 1iDOF With the third generation of the Fluidhand, Schulz transferred the technology of flexible fluid actuators to a hand prosthesis. To achieve higher grasping forces, the drives were modified for grasping even heavy objects. The unfolded silicone tubes reinforced with fabric were replaced by miniature folded bellows, which in turn were encased in fabric and attached to aluminum joints in the folds by nylon threads to keep their shape. Three drive elements in each finger, with the two distal bellows coupled together, and two drives in the thumb allow 14 joint axes to move in this hand, equivalent to 14 DOF at 10 iDOF. The fluid actuators were driven by means of miniature hydraulics. The control system, consisting of pump, valve, electronics, sensors and tank, was connected to the prosthesis via a hose approximately 1 m long. The hydraulic unit was the size of a portable telephone and was worn on the belt. Read more 2001 Fluidhand 4 rubber bulg soft hand prosthesis with 10DOF, 6iDOF The Fluidhand 4 has 10 flexible bellows drives, each of which, when pressurized, angles an aluminum joint by 90 degrees. Stretching is achieved by suction of the drive medium and by additional elastic bands. Each long finger has two drives that are fluidically coupled to each other and each leads to a common control valve in the metacarpus. The thumb has two individually movable drives, each of which is actuated by a separate valve. The drive medium is water. This hand prosthesis operates hydraulically for the first time. A miniature pump draws the fluid from an elastic reservoir in the forearm and pumps it at up to 6 bar via the valve bank into the bellows drive chambers. The pump and valves are controlled by a microprocessor in the hand, and the prosthesis wearer gives the control commands via myoelectric sensors. Read more 2002 Fluidhand 5 rubber bulg soft handprosthesis with 8DOF, 5iDOF The Fluidhand 5 was designed with the aim of integrating all system components of miniature hydraulics into the metacarpals in order to make the hand compatible with established socket systems. The prosthesis can be connected to all standard prosthetic sockets via a quicksnap wrist. Both the myoelectric sensors and the energy storage of the socket are used. The pump, fluid tank, valve bank and controller are located in and on the metacarpus. With the reduction in tank size, the number of fluidic drive was reduced to 8. The ring finger and little finger are flexed over one drive each. In the weight-optimized frame in sandwich construction, the elastic finger abduction was integrated. Five valves control the 8 drives of the hand, with the ring, little and middle fingers being hydraulically connected to each other. Read more 2003 Fluidhand 6 rubber bulg soft handprosthesis with 4DOF, 3iDOF The Fluidhand 6 is a particularly compact version of the hydraulic hand prosthesis, reduced to the essentials. The index, middle and ring fingers are each moved in the base joint via a flexible bellows drive, the little finger is mechanically coupled to the ring finger, and the middle finger is hydraulically coupled to the ring finger. The thumb is actuated in the basic joint. In this way, the thumb and index finger can be moved separately, while the other fingers move together. The 4 drives are controlled by a 3 valve bank, the miniature pump sucks distilled water from a pressure storage tank to pump it into the drive chambers. The weight of the hand is about 350 g. The aluminum fingers were covered with a PU foam. In the basic joints, all long fingers have an elastically mounted abduction.

Read more 2005 Fluidhand 8 rubber bulg soft handprosthesis with 8DOF, 4iDOF The Fluidhand 8 has 8 drives that are controlled via 5 valves. The bellows in the index finger and middle finger are each hydraulically coupled with each other, and the drives of the ring and little fingers are also connected with each other via a common valve. The special feature of this further development is that the metacarpus has been replaced by a hermetically sealed pressure body. Inside the metacarpus is an elastic tank in the form of a diaphragm, in which both the drive medium (vegetable oil) and the control electronics, valves and pump are integrated; all system components "float" permanently in the drive medium. Between the pressure body shell and the diaphragm there is again a two-phase gas with a constant pressure of 2 bar. Read more 2006 Fluidhand 9 rubber bulg soft handprosthesis with 5DOF, 5iDOF The Fluidhand 9 has 5 drives of different sizes. The base joints of the index finger and middle finger are equipped with stronger drives. The elastic fluid tank is located in the wrist. When the fingers are emptied, they are stretched and the fluid is pumped from the finger joints into the elastic tank in the wrist, bending the wrist and opening the hand further. The pump is noise-isolated and free-swinging in a CFRP tank; valves and controls are located in the metacarpus, which is completely covered with CFRP. The thumb with a drive in the base pivots between flat hand and opposition position to the three-point grip. Read more Current products

Passive finger prostheses for the prosthetic reconstruction of a partial hand – up to 110° swivel range, functional, lightweight, aesthetic. VINCENTpartial passive The passive partial hand system enables prosthetic reconstruction of a partial hand. It consists of functional passive finger and thumb prostheses that can be locked in place in one or two joints in different angular positions. The weight-optimized stainless steel joints with variable-length finger or thumb attachments are very robust and water-resistant. The variable-length finger or thumb sleeves are made of durable and stain-resistant HTV silicone. The fingers are mounted directly to the stem with two screws coming from the stem or are aligned and fixed in position via various frame types made of stainless steel sheet and aluminum adapters. The fingers can be equipped with one or two successive ratchet joints. The joints function in such a way that pulling in the distal finger direction releases the locking of the joint - positioning is now possible. Releasing the finger causes the joint to lock into the desired position. In addition to the distal locking joint, the thumb has a proximal basic joint for lateral pivoting. The basic joint can be pivoted by 110° via friction locking, and the force required for this can be adjusted. The thumb is aligned and fixed in place by means of a frame plate and a threaded base plate, which can also be laminated directly into the stem. All in all, VINCENTpartial passive is an easy-to-use, robust and functional passive finger and thumb system. Flyer VINCENTpartial passive Mounting instructions finger Mounting instructions thumb

2002 - Fluidhand 5 Up The Fluidhand 5 was designed with the aim of integrating all system components of miniature hydraulics into the metacarpals in order to make the hand compatible with established socket systems. The prosthesis can be connected to all standard prosthetic sockets via a quicksnap wrist. Both the myoelectric sensors and the energy storage of the socket are used. The pump, fluid tank, valve bank and controller are located in and on the metacarpus. With the reduction in tank size, the number of fluidic drive was reduced to 8. The ring finger and little finger are flexed over one drive each. In the weight-optimized frame in sandwich construction, the elastic finger abduction was integrated. Five valves control the 8 drives of the hand, with the ring, little and middle fingers being hydraulically connected to each other. Each of the 8 bellows-like drives is covered with a fabric that ensures the dimensional stability of the elastic inner chambers when a fluid is pumped into the cavity at a pressure of up to 6bar. The central chambers are fixed at the joint pivot point by loadable cords, thus the expansion of the bellows is redirected into a 90 degree rotational movement of the finger joint. The resetting of a joint is achieved by negative pressure in the bellows drive when the drive chambers are emptied; an elastic band supports the stretching of the joints. For storing the drive medium, usually water, Fluidhand 5 experimented with both foil membrane tanks and pressure storage tanks consisting of an elastic hose tank and a stable housing. Up

The neo1 exoskeleton for the upper extremities: myoelectric control, wearable under clothing, ideal for paralysis caused by stroke or plexus injuries. neo1 World's first under-clothing myoelectric exoskeleton for the upper extremity With neo1, Vincent Systems presents the breakthrough myoelectric exoskeleton designed specifically for users with limited upper extremity functionality, especially to compensate for paralysis caused by stroke and plexus injuries. This innovative technology uses advanced myoelectric control in conjunction with powerful micromotors in the elbow and hand areas to help users with their mobility and independence challenges due to their limitations. The myoelectric exoskeleton uses state-of-the-art sensor technology that detects and interprets the electrical signals generated by the user's muscles. By analyzing these signals, the exoskeleton intuitively responds to the user's movement intentions and allows them to regain control over their affected limbs. One of the most important features of this exoskeleton is its lightweight and ergonomic design. It is the world's first actively controlled exoskeleton that can be worn under the user's clothing due to its slim shape that is adapted to the body. This feature opens up a whole new horizon of applications as the system can be inconspicuously integrated into everyday life. Vincent Systems emphasizes comfort and adaptability, allowing users to wear the device for extended periods of time. The exoskeleton is customized to fit each user's anatomy. The control system is also user-specific, optimally adjusted for each wearer through a variety of parameters depending on the severity of the paralysis and the available muscle signals. In addition, the myoelectric exoskeleton offers different levels of support, allowing the user to gradually increase muscle activation and improve strength and control over time. This progressive approach promotes neuroplasticity and thereby also supports active rehabilitation. In the long term, positive effects are expected with regard to the reduction of phantom limb pain as well as a preventive effect with regard to the avoidance of overuse symptoms. neo1 we love perfection

Specialized software solutions for controlling and adjusting prostheses and exoskeletons – intuitive operation and adjustment. Software for configuring and adjusting the prostheses VINCENTmobile The VINCENTmobile app comes standard on a tablet with every myoelectric hand prosthesis. It can be used to make user-specific settings as well as to train the numerous grips of the VINCENT hand prostheses.

The world's first myoelectric partial hand prosthesis that is IP68 waterproof. It also features intuitive control, individual customization, and a high quality of life. VINCENTpartial4 Waterproof to IP68 | Modular design | Individually customizable | Single Finger Control Light and compact | Numerous grip types, selectable at any time | Available in 40 color combinations The functional prosthetic restoration of parts of the hand presents a particular technical challenge. The myoelectrically controlled partial hand prosthesis VINCENTpartial4 is specifically designed to meet these needs, as it can be individually adapted to the care situation. The VINCENTpartial4 is a hand prosthesis for partial hand restorations with motorised individual fingers and thumbs. Sensors and controls have been miniaturised to allow them to be placed directly on the back of the hand, together with the mouldable battery cells. This allows an anatomical reconstruction of the hand where technically possible. The fingers and thumb are attached to the prosthetic socket using a steel frame design. This determines the width of the hand as well as the position and alignment of the fingers. The metacarpal arch can also be modelled. The prosthesis can be controlled via EMG sensors using muscle tension or via tactile force sensors. The battery system can be charged via a USB-C socket. If there is no power socket, it can also be charged via a mobile power bank. The grip selection and control of fingers follow the uniform control concept of the VINCENT hand prostheses. Many different grips can be achieved by timed opening and closing signals, using four long fingers and a thumb. If fewer powered fingers are used, the number of grips are reduced accordingly. The fingers and thumb are made of high-strength aluminium alloy, or titanium for even greater durability. All components are rubberised for a secure grip, and the tip of the index finger is touchscreen compatible. The joints of all fingers and the thumb are fully covered in every possible position. This prevents objects from being clamped as the fingers and the thumb open. Eight different colors give the silicone parts of the VINCENTpartial4 an individual and unique design. The colors black, white, pearl white and transparent as well as four different natural colors are available, each in combination with five different metal colors and titanium. Waterproofness of the prosthesis The motorised fingers of the VINCENTpartial4 are waterproof according to IP68. Washing hands under running water is possible, provided that the design of the prosthesis socket also permits this. The control unit, sensors and batteries must still be protected from water. Single finger control The single finger control enables the five fingers to be individually controlled by up to five input signals. This allows a faster and more intuitive use of the prosthesis.

Isabelle shares her experience with her Vincent prosthesis: from practicing in everyday life to natural and precise control of the hand. Close User Story von Isabelle - VINCENTevolution5 In everyday life and in my studies – my journey with an arm prosthesis By Isabelle Hi, I’m Isabelle. I wear a myoelectric above-elbow prosthesis and have been the proud owner of my VINCENTevolution bionic hand since 2020. I have to say, when I first found myself alone in everyday life with the prosthetic hand, I felt slightly overwhelmed. Controlling a myoelectric prosthetic hand requires a change in mindset: no intuitive grasping anymore, but instead the active contraction of my biceps and triceps muscle signals. For someone inexperienced, this is exhausting — both for the muscles and the brain. Using these two muscle signals, 16 different grip patterns can be controlled via a grip scheme. So there I stood, trying to imagine which grip would be best suited to open a simple tea bag package. Then I had to intensely concentrate to recall the grip pattern so I knew which muscle combination to activate in order to reach that grip. Only then could I start the action. At the beginning, I had to accept that everyday activities took significantly more time than if I had simply done them with one hand. I needed patience, determination, and kindness toward myself, while staying highly focused and careful as I established reliable prosthetic control. But I really wanted this amazing bionic hand prosthesis, with all its functions, to become a part of me. So I consistently practiced with it in everyday life wherever possible. Practice makes perfect, and the brain is absolutely capable of relearning. Through my efforts, I quickly noticed progress: control became faster and smoother, success experiences increased, and I became more skillful in using the prosthesis. Cups no longer shattered on the floor, bottles were no longer crushed with excessive force, and I no longer had to plan extra time for daily activities. Operating the different grips became automatic, and the grip pattern was firmly memorized. By now, the upper arm prosthesis has become a part of me that I would never want to be without. I would feel lost if I had to navigate life with only one arm. In many everyday situations, the prosthesis supports me, such as tying my shoes, opening packaging, or unlocking my apartment door, which requires pulling the door with one hand while turning the key in the lock. I have truly come to appreciate the VINCENTevolution bionic hand and all its advantages. The precision and fine motor skills of the hand are incredible. With the pinch grip, I can even grasp and tear open the small tabs on yogurt cups. Thanks to vibration feedback while gripping, I have gradually developed a kind of sense of touch. I can now accurately judge how firmly I am gripping with the prosthetic hand and when the applied force is sufficient. My bionic hand prosthesis has given me back independence, acceptance, normality, and a sense of completeness. It is no longer a foreign object to me. The prosthesis is now my arm.

VINCENTwrist Wrist joints for adults and children | Standard, extra short, adjustable flexion | Low weight | Short length quicksnap | quicksnap+flexion | short | short+flexion VINCENTwrist quicksnap The standard wrist joint makes it possible to quickly and easily attach and remove the hand prosthesis. The joint offers compatibility with other systems such as DynamicArm or Boston Digital Arm™. VINCENTwrist short Our transcarpal joint convinces with its uniquely low mounting depth and is therefore also suitable for long arm stumps. In addition to the prosthesis-side joint, the shaft-side lamination plate (22 g / 0.05 lb) is also particularly light. The standard wrist and the transcarpal joint can be rotated noiselessly and gridlessly. The force required for rotation can be individually adjusted for each user. Both wrists can be combined with the joint VINCENTwrist flexion that can be angled. VINCENTwrist flexion The joint has a large range of movement and allows for flexion from -36° to +36°. lt is particularly suitable for bilateral users due to its switchless operation. The position is changed by pulling, moving and releasing. Our four wrist options are characterized by their low mounting depths. Due to the intelligent multi-material-mix, the wrists are particularly light and at the same time very robust and corrosion resistant.

Third-generation (of 5) myoelectric hand prosthesis with high grip strength, anatomical design, and precise control. VINCENTevolution3 / 3+ Modern look | 4-channel control | Anatomical design | Higher grip force | Compact, lightweight, robust Numerous grasps | Various wrist types | Easy operation without additional aids | Optionally available in titanium The third generation of the hand prosthesis series, VINCENTevolution3 features a multi-award-winning anatomical design concept and the proven control strategy of VINCENTevolution2. At the same time, it scores with twice the grip strength of its predecessor model, millimeter precision between the thumb and index finger, and an overall higher load-bearing capacity of the hand. The wearing comfort of the VINCENT hand series also stands out in the new model series due to the low prosthesis weight. The most striking innovation was achieved in terms of dimensions. While VINCENTevolution2 was only available in size M, VINCENTevolution3 anatomically reproduces all the usual sizes of an adult hand in sizes XS, S, M, L and XL. Sizes S and XS are currently the smallest multi-articulating hand prostheses on the market and could already be suitable for children and adolescents. The basic version of the VINCENTevolution3 is available in a stable aluminum alloy or optionally with finger components made of high-strength titanium. In addition, prosthesis wearers can choose between four different wrist options. Like all VINCENT prostheses, the third generation is equipped with a vibrotactile sense of touch and gesture-controlled handle selection. The hand can be worn in combination with a textile cosmetic glove from GF. glove factory UG, silicone or without a glove. NEW: VINCENTevolution3+ The VINCENTevolution3+ is the waterproof design variant of the VINCENTevolution3. Hand washing under running water is possible without any problems, provided that the design of the prosthesis stem also permits this. An already purchased VINCENTevolution3 with splash water protection IP64 can be upgraded to a VINCENTevolution3+ with protection against temporary submersion IP67 at any time. - Contact your service technician for more information.

In her user story, elementary school teacher Dorothee shares how she confidently teaches in the classroom with her VINCENTevolution hand prosthesis. Close My prosthesis in the classroom By Dorothee Hi, I'm Dorothee, I wear a forearm prosthesis, and I'm a primary school teacher. My prosthesis was never an obstacle to choosing this profession. What adults might only consider after giving it some thought is actually no problem for children. Children approach you without prejudice, but they also blurt out their questions directly. Is that a problem? No, otherwise this profession wouldn't be right for me. But my development in dealing with these many encounters and the prosthesis has changed with the VINCENTevolution hand prosthesis. For a long time, I wore a myoelectric forearm prosthesis with a silicone cover, which meant that it looked very realistic cosmetically and was not always immediately noticeable, but often only at second glance. This was pleasant, because I was not immediately the center of attention. The typical questions were, for example: “What is that?”, “Why do you have that?”, “Where is your real hand?”, “Why don't you have a real hand?”, “Is there a bone underneath?”, “Does it hurt?”, ... and only later: “How do you open it?” I answered the questions in more detail at times and more briefly at others when I had to repeat myself often. After getting to know the class for the first time, the focus then shifted more to the learning content. Nevertheless, the children saw exactly what I was doing and how I was doing it. The grip I had at the time supported me, but it wasn't always the best grip for many different things in terms of ergonomics and functionality, so I also had to use my other hand a lot for support. There came a time when my existing hand was overloaded. So I was open to advice on the prosthetic options now available on the market. The VINCENTevolution from Vincent Systems impressed me at the time with its high-tech features, numerous functions, high reliability when gripping, and cool appearance. Of course, it took some getting used to learning and being able to use so many grips when you're in a situation where you need to act quickly. I had to give myself a little more time and be patient until it became routine and a real benefit to my everyday life! From my initial attitude of “a prosthesis is an option, but not a necessity,” I came to realize with my new robot-style hand that “Hey! The prosthesis really helps me!” I noticed, for example, that the apple stayed in my hand and didn't slip out. Or that I could hold the book well without twisting and cramping my shoulder. Many more moments followed, so that I began to enjoy consciously using my prosthesis. At first, I still wore the hand prosthesis with a skin-colored glove cover. To be honest, it bothered me when I looked down and saw the black hand standing out so much. When Vincent Systems launched the different color options on the market, I was happy and chose the skin-colored version. What was interesting was how things developed at school. The children immediately asked more questions about the technology. “How does it work?”, “How can you change the grip?”, “Can you write with it?”, “Can you open this bottle?”, “Can you go in the water with it?” etc. So it was no longer so interesting why I wear a prosthesis, but what it can do and how it works. The focus was now on the technology or the thing itself and not directly on me, which I found very pleasant. The children's confidence in dealing with the “robot hand” strengthened and changed my perspective, and I now occasionally wear a loaner hand in a different color, not just my skin color. I myself became more experienced in using the grips and at the same time more confident with the many encounters and questions. When I have a new class and we get to know each other, there is always a question and answer session about the prosthesis. Anyone who wants to can touch it. Until their thirst for knowledge is quenched, it is impossible to continue with the lesson anyway. The students know what I am wearing, and it is normal at our school that I live and teach with a robotic hand.
